It’s helpful to know how Americans typically will be. Otherwise you will start feeding, “These people are great dramatists…” etc.
Here some useful tips:
1.    Adjust with the Americans.
Americans are very friendly and helpful. They don’t make you feel like a foreigner. It’s very easy to adjust with them. But they don’t like people getting inquisitive or trying to get too personal in the initial phase of the acquaintance.
2.    Try to be frank about opinions.
Americans are frank about their opinions. They respect individual view and allow everyone to voice their own ideas on subject. They need a lot of feedback while talking. You have to acknowledge/nod continuously. Otherwise they will feel you are not interested in listening or are confused.
3.    Don’t skip in a line
Americans have a lot of patience. Especially when standing in line or while driving, nobody will try to jump before you in line. Most of them are much disciplined drivers. However this differs from State to State.
4.    Always say “Excuse me” in certain events
If they happen to come in their way, you will promptly hear an “Excuse me” or “Excuse us”.
5.    Don’t underestimate their customs.
They are very “proud” of their country. To them, the universe is The United States. So never ever make fun or speak lightly about them or tell them that they do not have any social/cultural background. You will make more American friends that way.
